Watch CBC station on cable when civilians had to start stripping before they could surrender.

The ribs and hips were poking out and they looked like they escaped from concentration camps. It was gross.

You are both correct. I DO recall seeing these people, and their obvious need for food and water. I've seen so many images that they seem to overshadow what I witnessed only days before, in some cases, hours. Please don't think that I was being totally insensitive to those who are in serious need, I think I was asking myself aloud (by posting) why these guys were in such good shape. It makes me wonder if they might have changed into civilian clothes after ditching a uniform or something, and holding such a sign in order to escape scrutiny.In other words, I was wondering if the many Iraqis' that DO appear to be well fed were in the regimes' "good graces" and are now playing a grand game of CYA. Your sobering reminder of those who truly suffer re-enforces these suspicions. I think I'd better lay off the news for a while.It's making me crazy.
